The Love of God (with Lyrics) : The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell

Dear Reader,

I just saw the following video on YouTube for the song "The Love of God" which I love very much since I first heard it as a young Christian back in the 1990s.

I am reminded once again that it was the love of God through the Lord Jesus Christ that first touched my heart, and was used by our Lord to work in my heart to seek Him when I first heard the Gospel. I found it amazing that God could love such a one as me!

Eversince then, God has shown me and proven to me over and over again, even to this day, that His love is vast and unfailing, through all the changing scenes in my life!

I especially love the way Stanza 3 and the chorus described the amazing vastness of the love of God which is measureless:

Stanza 3
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made;
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

Chorus
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.

The Love of God (with Lyrics)

1 The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell.
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin.

2 When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call;
God’s love, so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race-
The saints’ and angels’ song.

3 Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made;
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

*O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.

Oh, may God enables all His beloved people to grow daily in our experiences and understanding of the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of His great love for us, just as the apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:14-19!

Ephesians 3
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Best Regards ,
Nancie

As the Deer panteth for the water, So my soul longs after you, Lord.

Dear Friends,

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for all your prayers, encouragements and kind comments.

Thank God I am well though rather tired. I am still learning to pace myself as I cope with various challenges daily. Thank God that He is with me and He gives me joy and strength in Him daily.

I missed all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

May the Lord will bless you with a very restful and refreshing weekend and Lord's day.

Hope this song, Like a Deer will encourage your heart.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, may our souls panteth after our God, our Lord, our Redeemer!

"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Psalm 42:1

As The Deer

As the deer panteth for the water,
So my soul longs after you.
You alone are my hearts desire,
And I long to worship You.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

I want you more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

You're my friend and You're my brother,
Even though you are a King.
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.
